Code TogetherPreparing Applications for Aurora in the Exascale EraIntel, HPE, and Argonne National Lab are collaborating closely to deliver Aurora. Built on Intel’s architecture, Aurora will be Argonne’s first Exascale, high performance computing system. Its performance is expected to exceed exaflops, which is 2 billion billion calculations per second. It’s enormous scale and performance levels will accelerate research in science and engineering fields at a scale that is not possible today.

In this podcast, Jean-Pierre Panziera from Atos presents: BXI - Bull eXascale Interconnect.
"Exascale entails an explosion of performance, of the number of nodes/cores, of data volume and data movement. At such a scale, optimizing the network that is the backbone of the system becomes a major contributor to global performance. The interconnect is going to be a key enabling technology for exascale systems. This is why one of the cornerstones of Bull’s exascale program is the development of our own new-generation interconnect. The Bull eXascale Interconnect or BXI introduces a paradigm shift in terms of performance, scalability, effic...2017-05-0500 min
